Description The 2nd grade Science Curriculum set of 10 student books includes 10 full-color LIFEPAC worktexts for students to complete. Each LIFEPAC worktext book includes both chapter self tests, quizzes, and final tests to assure mastery of concepts. Each LIFEPAC takes about 3 to 4 weeks to complete.

Challenging students to demonstrate both spiritual and academic growth, LIFEPAC Gold is the foundation of Alpha Omega's Bible-centered home school curriculum. Within each of the five core subjects - Bible, Language Arts, Mathematics, History, & Science - the curriculum is organized into convenient workbook/textbook "worktext" units.

MASTERY LEARNING This full-color worktext curriculum for students in grades K through 12 is based on the principle of mastery learning, in which students truly master the content and skills of one unit before progressing to the next. Different students learn at different speeds, so mastery learning ensures success by allowing each student to spend as much time as he needs in a particular subject area before moving on.

Students achieve mastery learning through LIFEPAC Golds systematic review of learned concepts at three levels. First, each new concept or skill is reinforced within the LIFEPAC worktext in which it is introduced. Second, concepts and skills are integrated across all five core subjects in the curriculum. And third, mastered material is treated as the building blocks of new material at the higher grade levels.

Many specific LIFEPAC Gold Curriculum activities and questions require students to go beyond simple objective recall, asking them instead to think analytically and draw conclusions that require a conceptual understanding of the material.

REINFORCEMENT ACTIVITIESThe use of independent projects to reinforce learned concepts is an important part of the LIFEPAC Gold Curriculum. Projects stimulate creativity and imaginative thought, and provide the student an opportunity to use and demonstrate the skills he has learned. The student is allowed freedom to explore and conduct his own research, but remains accountable to the teacher. This challenges the student to think and helps him develop independent learning skills and self-discipline.
